  Just a note to locate a few additional cog railways.  There is one which
takes you to the top of Pikes Peak, just west of Colorado Springs, Colorado.
(Larry, that is 2.5 hours from Lakewood, without rush hour traffic.)  I've
never ridden this one personally, the altitude (greater than 14,000 ft) gets to
me.
  My personal favorite decends into Inner Space Cave, 2 hours south of Dallas,
Texas on I-35.  It is a short ride, but a great cave.
  I think there was also one to the top of 7-falls, a tourist attraction
outside of Colorado Springs, but it may have been a cable car.  I will check on
this.
Make it a good day.
Louise

I think there is one in Pittsburgh too. What I like better, (...) (26 years ago, 9-Dec-98, to lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)
